After a rather slow start, and a restart, as I found a little error on my Pimpeliese shawl, I finished it . It is a super great pattern, and knitted very quickly once I got the hang of it. The weather was not to warm, and I had to wait for a bit of sunnier days before I could block it and make sure it dried. But it is done! And turned out pretty neat.
I also finished the Travelling Cable Hat beanie I was working on. Super pattern, specially since I really love knitting cables.
I had given this old basket of mine a make-over some time ago, but could not find the right handles I was looking for. But being persistent, I found these handles, and they seem pretty okay on the basket. Now I can use it again, and carry my WIP’s around in it.
And of course, what is knitting without having a pair of socks on the needles. This is my first “big” colourwork knit, and I am enjoying it tremendously. I am knitting the socks inside out, which is pretty funny, but it is the only way I could figure out how to ensure the floats are even and not to tight. They are for my daughter and she has tried them on a few times now to ensure the fit is still good.

Some wonderful projects here and those socks are coming on nicely – such an elegant colour combination.
Thank you. although I have to undo the heel, as the sock is now to long in the foot. 🙂 I will get there.
The shawl and the basket are my favourite! Simply beautiful! ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you, I am so happy I can now again use my basket. 🙂
That is not hard to believe 🙂 🙂 🙂
Lovely makes. I love knitting cables too 🙂 Great see the pixel socks coming on so well 🙂
Thank you. We tried the sock last night, as I did the heel on the weekend, and now it is too long. Have to undo and make it shorter first. 🙂
Love the shawl and basket and the socks are flying off your needles! Hoping to finish my handpainted Soul shawl this weekend …. it’s been a mad week! Hope u r well…. xxx
🙂 I am well, although the weeks have been mad. A bit hectic, but I am sure it will pass.
Looking forward to seeing your shawl as well.
lol. Tried the sock last night, and it is to long. Have to undo and redo the heel. 🙂 But I will get there.
With all this sock talk I decided to cast on a pair last night!!! As if I don’t have enough WIPs at the moment!! Have finished the shawl …. it’s busying being blocked! xxx
Awesome. One can always have a pair of socks lurking in the wings, just in case. I would have a few projects going, and a pair of socks as well. 🙂
Looking forward to your shawl! Wow! That was fast! 🙂
Wow you have been busy as well. 🙂
Thanks. Its luckily winter here, so I have a bit more time to “hibernate” and just craft away. 🙂
You have been busy! Wonderful projects finished and in progress. 🙂
Thank you so much. Loving the colder weather, as it gives me time to craft away.
Yes – it is a nice thing about winter – no yard work or sunny days calling your name, right? I hope you are having a good winter – not too many power outages and mail strikes. 🙂
All great projects! Knit on!
Thank you so much.
Wow! You have been busy – all beautiful makes 🙂
Thank you. Your kind words are much appreciated. 🙂
Love the colours of the shawl, nice and relaxing. The socks are coming along great, look forward to seeing them finished. Shall hopefully give me some motivation to spend a few hours on socks tomorrow – how else should one spend a Monday off work?!
I would love a Monday off work. Its been pretty busy around here lately.
lol. Just when I thought I was winning on the socks, I did the heel and now the sock is to long in the foot. Must undo and redo first. 🙂
Hope you spend a great Monday off work and have a fun day too.
You have been busy! Your shawl is beautiful! Love the colors and the edging is perfect.Cute hat! Your project bag is great! And I have to applaud anyone who can knit socks. Not a project I have ever wanted to tangle with 😉 I couldn’t even knit them right side, let alone inside out! You are awesome! Your socks are looking great!
Thank you so much. You are always just as busy! 🙂
lol. You wont believe it, but I knitted the heel of the sock on the weekend, and when my daughter tried it on, it is now to long. I will have to undo the heel and shorten the foot first before I can carry on. 🙂
I love that cable hat. The first thing I knit with cables was a hat and it got me hooked! Wow, knitting socks inside out. Very good.
Thank you. I love knitting cables, and the best projects for cables for hats, in my humble opinion. 🙂
lol. I have to knit the socks in this funny way, I am still learning and need to be able to check that my floats are looking good. 🙂 Luckily it is working.
I love those cables and that WIP purse, knitting looks like fun 🙂
🙂 Knitting is fun, just as much as crochet. I just wish I crocheted more, I should really make a point of it. Its perfect for summer as it is so much lighter.
in some cases trust me lol
